Although the Trade Desk stock trades at a sleep price-earnings ratio of 170.71 and a forward P/E ratio of 114.97, its exciting growth story could pay off significantly in the future.
Analysts expect Trade Desk earnings per share to grow by 118.30% this year and at an average annual growth rate of 32% over the next five years. Therefore, although value investors may find the TTD stock expensively valued, growth investors could be looking to pounce ahead of the potential earnings growth this year and over the next five years.
As a result, Trade Desk shares could still advance in the coming months, making the stock an attractive option to add to your portfolio.
Technically, Trade Desk shares seem to have recently pulled back after rallying to retest current 5-month highs of about $86.74.
The stock had advanced to overbought conditions in the 14-day RSI before the pullback. Therefore, it could present an attractive opening for growth investors to buy.
As such, traders can target potential rebound profits at approximately $90.78 or higher at $97.24. The key support levels are $74.63 and $67.36.
Trade Desk shares’ latest pullback presents an opportunity to buy the stock ahead of an exciting growth story. In addition, although the stock seems steeply priced at the current valuation multiples, its fiscal Q2 revenue and earnings beat could provide a short-term boost, pushing the share price higher.
